PDF Toolbar in Safari?

When opening a pdf file in Safari I used to see a toolbar which allowed me to print, save, resize etc the pdf. This seems to have disappeared, I am using now Leopard and Safari 5.1
Does anyone know how I can get the toolbar back??

What has happened to the pdf toolbar in Safari 5.1.2?

I'm using Safari 5.1.2 with OS X Lion.
Usually when I open a pdf page in Safari and move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the Safari window, the pdf toolbar shows options like zooming, open in Preview.app or save to downloads folder, but this function appears to have been deleted. I used this feature all the time. Is it gone? Why?
Scott

It is supposed to be there, e.g., I have it on mine.
One possibility: a third party software/plugin/extension conflict.

PDF Toolbar missing from Safari 5

The PDF toolbar no longer appears when viewing PDF files in Safari (5.1.2) on my MacBook Pro running the latest version of Lion. It is not running in 32 Bit mode.
Any ideas?
regards,

Thanks Linc.
The clue to the solution lies in the discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3536184?tstart=0
Where it identifies possible internet plugins as the cause. In my case it was not an Adobe plugin but a Quicktime plugin that was responsible.
My problem soved!

Why Acrobat Reader doesn't open pdf-files from Safari?

I'm new Mac user and cannot find answer why I cannot open pdf-files directly from Safari. My Macbook OS X 10.9.3 and Safari is 7.0.4. Only way to open pdf-files is to download the content first and then open it. If I try to open it directly Acrobat says "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement". I have downloaded Acrobat Reader several times already and cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Safari is cool. got addicted but have toughtime getting used to it.

2. PDFs open in Safari with no option to save the downloaded files
I am sure mac pros would have found a way. Let me know
Dell Inspiron 6400 Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

1. Flash plugin can be downloaded from apple at <http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html>
2. There's also a Acrobat Reader plugin at the page mentioned above. With this, a 'Save a copy' button is displayed in the acrobat toolbar. On osx with builtin pdfviewer, a right-click on the pdf will show a menu with the option to save it.
Don't forget to restart after installing the plugins

Downloading pdf files in Safari

Lately I'm having trouble downloading pdf files that are open in the Safari window. I'm using the latest versions of Safari Adobe Reader on an IMac OSX 10.6.8. I used to download them simply with "command s", now it says "the document ... cannot be exported".
thanks for any help,

Sorry, no, this did not help. I cannot recommend doing this. As a result, pdfs are no longer displayed at all in Safari!!
I had found a different solution, though, in the meantime. In the dark grey toolbar that appears at the bottom of a pdf window in Safari once you mouse over the spot, there is this adobe symbol which looks like a windmill. if you click on it, the adobe reader toolbars appear at the top of the browser window. if you click THAT save button there, it works just fine.

CANT READ PDF FILES IN SAFARI

I had the same problem. Do you have Tinker Tool on your system by any chance? That turned out to be my problem. I had followed the advice of other posters to 1. Look for the Adobe PDF plug-in in Library/Internet Plug-ins. (That was not on my system.) 2. Then I changed the default viewer for PDF files on my computer from Skim back to Preview. (Select any PDF file on your computer, press Command I, and change Open with to Preview, then select the Change All button.) That didn't help me either.
Then I remembered I had TinkerTool, and I solved the mystery, at least on my computer. Although I did an erase and install, I had then used Migration Assistant to copy over personal settings from my Firewire backup. Apparently one of these settings files was for TinkerTool. When I finally thought to launch TinkerTool today, I noticed that under Safari, the box next to “Disable native support for viewing PDF files” was checked. I unchecked that, relaunched Safari, and voila! Now Safari loads the PDF file in a browser window with the little PDF toolbar. I hope this works for you as well.
